Libertarian Advocate Blow Job Award #4: Goes to Andrew "Benito" Cuomo for his complete FOOK-UP in pushing through N.Y. SAFE ACT.

The embarrassing fiasco you will read about below was bound to happen given the Rahm it Through E-Certified legislation Cuomo demanded be passed through the N.Y. State Legislature all inside of 72 hours of deliberation. What could possibly go wrong with that? Well, it's a massive embarrassment for the self-proclaimed "Progressive" Governor who has already had to back pedal the law once it was determined that it would also bar N.Y. State police from carrying more than 7 rounds in their duty magazines. 

And now for the entirely predictable total clusterfuck of incompetence in detail:

Jacobs: Wrong Person Told To Turn In Guns

Buffalo, NY (WBEN / release) - Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs says State Police now admit they fingered the wrong person, when they recommended a pistol permit suspension.

State Police had indicated a local gun permit holder used anti-anxiety medication, a situation that triggers an alert in the NY SAFE Act. The local gun owner was asked to turn in their guns at their local police department.

But now, Jacobs says troopers say they passed along bad information, and they had fingered the wrong person.

Jacobs says this error points out the flaws in the state's new gun control legislation.

Here is the release from his office:

Erie County, NY – Erie County Clerk Chris Jacobs said that late today he received a call from the New York State Police informing him that they had provided information on the wrong person when they notified his office of someone whose permit should be suspended because of the new mental health provisions in New York’s SAFE Act.
"Previously we received correspondence from the State Police that a pistol permit holder in our County had a mental health condition that made them a potential harm to themselves or others, a provision in the NY SAFE Act that requires suspension of their pistol permit license," said Jacobs.
At that time as required by law, Jacobs’ referred the item and all supporting documentation to the State Supreme Court Judge in charge of issuing pistol permits. Acting on the information provided by the State Police, the judge issued a suspension of the permit pending a hearing.
"When the State Police called to tell us they made a mistake and had the wrong person...it became clear that the State did not do their job here, and now we all look foolish."
Jacobs’ believes the central reason for this error is the inherent flaws in the mental health reporting provisions in the NY SAFE Act. "Until the mental health provisions are fixed, these mistakes will continue to happen," says Jacobs.
